|N PRESENTING this publicity book of Peekskill, containing as it 
does views and descriptive matter of this Village and vicinity, we 
hope it will be the means of advancing Peekskill's attractions and 
bring many who are seeking a home to this, the finest residential 
town in this section of the country. 

The labor situation is always improved by the addition of new industries, bringing 
as it does additional families and opening up fields of work for those already located here. 
Concerns seeking sites for manufacturing purposes are welcome and will be 
granted every possible inducement to locate here.

PEEKSKILL'S WATER FRONT

VERY man ought to have a reason for his existence. If he has not he is only so much cumbersome matter in 
the way of society. He is eating possibly good food that ought to go to some useful person or occupying space 
that ought to be allotted to another. 

Every town ought to have a reason for its existence along the same lines of argument. Some towns are 
just towns and that is all. Their building was perhaps the result of land boomers to begin with and their 
existence is of little consequence. They have no reason for their existence. On the other hand some other 
towns have innumerable reasons why they exist and why they continue to grow. There are certain important facts upon 
which a town must grow and these must constitute its reasons for existence. First, the geographical location of the town 
must be logical. It must be on a line of trade and commerce. Second, the town must be healthful. It must have good 
drainage. It must have abundance of water both for its people and for its industries. Third, it must have the right sort 
of environment. There must be a farming, or trading, or resort country behind it. Fourth, it must have good roads and 
good transportation facilities. 

These are the great essentials, the great natural essentials, that a town must have. If it, perchance, have other attrac- 
tions, so much the better, but it must have these fundamental reasons for its existence and its hope to grow. 

Peekskill has these essentials. Peekskill was built on the site of an Indian village. The Indians had chosen the site be- 
cause of its desirability. There were the hills sloping up from the Hudson — healthful hills, good for drainage, sightly hills 
from which the grandeur of the Highlands stood forth through the four seasons of the vear. The Hudson River was right 
at hand for transportation by canoe or raft. Out of the rocks gushed the living waters, copious, abundant, refreshing. Is it 
any wonder the Indian chose such a site for his village? Is it any wonder the early Dutch settlers followed his example 
and loitered to build their homes on these unsurpassed hills?

VIEW OF THE HIGHLANDS 



Those times are long sped but the reasons for existence are here in Peekskill to-day in even greater force than then. 
We have laid out miles of streets, have paved them, lighted thm, filled them with water mains, gas mains and sewer pipes, 
with telephone conduits and with trolley tracks. We have brought all the elements of high civilization to the very doors 
of our people. We have builded schools that are a pride and a satisfaction to behold. We have offered all the inducements 
of comfort and convenience — and here is Peekskill, with a reason for its existence. 

Geographically, forty-one miles from New York City on the Hudson River Railroad — forty-one miles, just a nice ride 
out of the city yet far enough to escape all of its unpleasant features and to get the quiet of the country. Boats going north 
and south add to the facilities for travel and shipping. 

Physically, high and dry, no swamps or meadows, hence no mosquitoes. Drainage good, hence no fevers. 

The water supply of Peekskill is its great asset. The village owns the watershed and the pump works. The water is 
cheap and there is enough to supply ten Peekskills. This is a peculiar advantage — peculiar to the location. Watersheds can 
not be purchased at will at a department store. Water is only where you find it and no town can grow without water. This 
one reason, if no other, makes Peekskill a good investment. 

f f we go into the realm of sentiment, there is where we shine. Who wants to look on any better scenery than the 
Hudson River at Peekskill ? People come across continents and over seas to travel on this famous river and see the self- 
same pictures that we enjoy daily from our porches. 

A sharp bend of the river forms a wide bay and Dunderberg, on the opposite side, looks majestically over at the thriv- 
ing village. Just beyond the village Annsville creek empties into the river and across the creek is the State Camp of In- 
struction, now used mostly as a rifle range for the state soldiery. To the east and north of the village is the lake district of 
southern New York not to be excelled anywhere for beautiful scenery or attractive outing grounds or summer home sites. 
Oscawana, Clear, Indian, Mohegan, Osceola. Mohansic are a few of the nearby lakes and there are innumerable smaller yet 
beautiful bodies in the neighborhood. 

A village form of government has advantages, Peekskill believes, over the city form and in that belief it has remained 
under the former form until, with a population of more than 16,000, it is known as the largest village in the country. The 
President of the Village and Board of Trustees receive no compensation other than the honor the position gives and with 
such management Peekskill has moved steadily forward with a natural and healthy growth. 




NEW WICOPEE DAM 



Not rapidly but surely has it taken on the advancements of modern life and so it has never had reason to take a step back 
in its progress. One of the later municipalities in the county to have a trolley, its electric road is run more regularly than 
most in the section and a person posted as to the schedule time of the cars may set his watch by them. The same exact- 
ness may be seen in the gas and electric lighting and power service. The same holds true of its municipal constructions. 
Its streets are well graded and miles of them are paved. Its sewerage system is excellent. Its schools — private and public 
— are of the highest standard and the buildings, especially those of the public schools remarkable structures, perfectly 
fitted for their purpose and also striking examples of architecture. 

Every normal requirement is met and provided for. There arc churches of nearly all denominations and these are situ- 
ated in different sections, making it convenient for one to reach a place of worship from any district. Of hotels and 
theatres there is a good supply and the industries of the place are varied and numerous. 

A manufacturing village, its industries are numerous and include the manufacture of stoves, ranges and heaters, 
underwear and dress goods, automobile parts, machines and engines, oilcloth, hats, cigars, yeast, vinegar, whiskey and 
liquors, fire bricks, charcoal products, bricks, cement blocks and reconstructed stone, besides planing mills that supply all 
local demands. 

Newspapers are plentiful and from some of the presses of Peekskill are turned out excellent specimens of typographical 
art. 

Vacant land is abundant about Peekskill. In the residential sections many fine sites may be secured and especially is 
this true of the suburbs where homes may be had with large or small tracts of land, all quick of access to the business 
section. 

Industries are welcome, and in the suburbs and along the water front are most attractive sites for manufacturing plants. 
In this connection the reader will find elsewhere mention of Yerplanck's Point, which is now regarded by many as PeekskillV 
prospective manufacturing center, and which has been long the home of the brick manufacturing industry of the section.

VERPLANCK'S POINT. FROM STONY POINT. WITH DEEP WATER FRONT ON THE HUDSON RIVER 



I ourlesy of I lie Highland Democrat. 



r 



Uerptanck's point 



Two miles below the village of Peekskill and connected with by trolley and good roads is Verplanck. The L'itv of Ver- 
planck it was once intended to be, but fate ruled otherwise and so it remains (until it shall be united to Peekskill) a con- 
venient Miburb with advantages that are just beginning to be appreciated. About three quarters of a century ago John Henry 
bought the tract and had it laid out in squares for a residential city, recognizing many features that well fitted it for that 
purpose. But the locality was better fitted for a more practical use and the many changes through which it has passed leave 
it still ready for what it should become, one of the greatest manufacturing districts of the country. At Verplanck is a 
natural inland harbor where the erection of docks would make possible the landing of any vessel that could come up the 
Hudson. It has frequently been suggested for a government shipyard but its value would be far greater for commerce. 
With the Hudson River Railroad just behind it and unlimited depth of water in front, it offers unrivaled attractions for 
manufacturers in search of a location. 

Verplanck played a great part in the early history of our country. Here Henry Hudson anchored the Half Moon for 
awhile in October, 1609, and while there his sailors had their first encounter with the Indians. Here was the well-known 
King's Ferry to Rockland and from the Point two Continentals firing on a rowboat coming in from the Vulture drove it 
back and so did their part in preventing the escape of Andre. 

With river front, railroad, trolley, school and churches, Verplanck awaits the revival which must come when its natural 
advantages are recognized and put to use.

HOTEL RALEIGH 




HOTEL RALEIGH 



< )n the main thoroughfare as one enters the business section of the vil- 
lage, less than five minutes' trolley ride from the Hudson River Railroad 
station and the steamboat landings, the Hotel Raleigh is not only an ideal 
house but is ideally situated, as well. Modern in every detail, it leaves noth- 
ing to be desired by the most fastidious guest. Especially built and designed 
to meet the requirements of the most particular, it does so successfully. 

Although at the entrance of the business section, the Raleigh is, also on 
the edge of the refined residential section. All about it are pleasant home- 
while the hotel itself is so satisfying that many of the best people of the 
make it their home. Situated at the corner of South and Depew Streets, the 
po-t office is just across from it on the latter street and three churches are 
within less than a block from it. 

Planned so superbly, it was doubted by many if the Hotel Raleigh could 
be made a paying proposition in a village largely a manufacturing center but 
Charles J. Taylor, the present proprietor, is a man fitted by large experience 
for just such a place and from the time that he took hold of it he has been 
daily convincing the doubters not only that it could be done but that it is. Visi- 
tors here are delighted when they find that they can secure in this magnificent 
house all of the comfort and luxuries of any hotel and some who were first 
forced by accident to stay over at Peekskill now come here regularly to enjoy 
a season at the Raleigh.

flbeeksfcill jftre department 

The Fire Department of Peekskill is a most efficient body. It consists of five companies of volunteers: Columbia 
Engine Co. No. i, Columbia Hose Co. No. i, Cortland Hook & Ladder Co. No. i, Washington Engine Co. No. 2, Centen- 
nial Hose Co. No. 4. Three of these have auto machines — the apparatus of the other two being horse drawn. The fire 
department antedates the charter of the Village, the village charter as a village date from 1839, and the department being 
formed under a fire district charter in 1827. 

The Cortland Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 is the only truck company of the village and is a social organization of high, 
order as well as a model fire company.

in each of these lines to be organized in Peekskill. The former 
dates from 1826 and the latter a few years later. 

The Washington Engine Co. No. 2 has a combination 
automobile engine and hose apparatus, purchased with money 
most of which was raised by the members themselves. The 
company is housed in a three-story brick building mi Nelson 
Avenue, with parlor, gymnasium, meeting room, besides ap- 
paratus room.

THE EAG LE HOTE L 



GEORGE WINTERS, PROPRIETOR 




Few hotels along the Hudson are as well and 
favorably known as is the old established Eagle Hotel 
on Main Street. To give in few words the cause of its 
popularity would be difficult. Perhaps it is best cov- 
ered by the remark of a patron, "Stopping at the Eagle 
isn't boarding, it's staying at home." 

This probably is the great attraction of the house 
— no over-officious attention but just the care one re- 
ceives at home. Neat rooms, good food, proper care 
and, with all, an air of ease and comfort that makes 
the patron feel that he has, indeed, come home. 

Autoists and commercial travelers, two classes 
that know what's what in hotels, recognize these 
points and stop time after time at the Eagle. 

The show room for commercial men's samples is 
ample and convenient. Also, it is usually a busy spot, 
for the commercial men know these facts and take 
advantage of them. The lounging room back of the 

office is deservedly popular. In it is an open fireplace around which the guests gather and are merry on winter evenings. 

"Meet me at the fireplace", is direction sufficient in Peekskill for everyone knows it means the Eagle fireplace.

That municipality is strong whose financial 
institutions are strong. Peekskill is well sup* 
plied with banks of high reputation. Oldest 
of them is the Westchester County National 
Hank. Founded as the Westchester County 
Bank in 1833 and continuing as such until it 
came under the National Hank act in 1865, 
this instituion has weathered every financial 
storm from the great panic of 1837 down to 
the present time without a quiver in its stand- 
ing and even helped out some of the metro- 
politan banks in more than one of those great 
crises. It has been conducted on sound busi- 
ness principles from the start and managed 
by financiers who knew how. when and where 
safely to invest its holdings. In the 23rd 
annual Roll of Honor of the National Hanks 
of the United States recently published bv 
"The Financier" of New York it stands num- 
ber 48 in the whole country as regards 
capital and surplus and number 7 in the 
state. Always sound, the Westchester County 
National bank started on a period of excep- 
tional progress with the acquisition of Hon. 
Cornelius A. Pugsley, who in 1S70. starting 
at that time as teller, passed rapidly on and up as cashier, vice president and president, which position he continues to hold. 
Mr. Pugsley's reputation in the financial world extends to every part of the country and bis connection with the bank is an 
element of strength. Another man who gives strength to it is George A. Ferguson, who has been connected with it since 
1881 and is now its cashier. The remaining officers are Frank M. Dain, vice-president and Frederick I. Pugsley, assistant 
cashier. The directors are C. A. Pugsley. Edward F. Hill, Frank M. Dain, Edward E. Young, II. L. Armstrong, Gei '-. V

as its affairs have always been ably managed and the interests of 
depositors carefully guarded. Its financial condition is excellent 
the funds being securely invested and there being a surplus of more 
than $400,000 over all iabilities, and still further security is af-

EMELINE 



One of the most interesting trips out of Peekskiil is on the famous "Emeline", running from Haver- 
straw to Nevvburgh, and touching at all intermediate points along the Hudson, including Peekskiil. The 
Captain. D. C. Woolsey, has been in continuous service on the river for sixty-four years, and has been in 

constant service on this route for 
forty years. This vessel was used 
as dispatch boat for the U. S. Gov- 
ernment during the Civil War and 
was known as the Nantasket, oper- 
ating on the James and Potomac 
Rivers, many times carrying the 
hero of the Civil War, Ulysses S. 
Grant. The vessel has been prac- 
tically rebuilt since that time and is 
now in excellent condition. Pas- 
sengers and freight are carried. 
There is no more beautiful way of 
viewing the Highlands of the Hud- 
son than on the Emeline.

HE Meadowsweet Farms are situated five miles east of Peekskill on Croton Avenue. They are one of the few suc- 
cessful Certified Dairy Farms in the State of New York. They are owned by Mrs. Thomas Ewing of Yonkers 
and Washington, D. C, and managed by H. S. Rothera, a specialist in dairy farming and the production of pure, 
clean milk. In the five years he has been there, he has converted Meadowsweet Farms from a somewhat costly 
experiment to a bearing cost point, and is now out for gross profits. The farms are of 350 acres. All crops grown are fed 
to the herd of high class grade cows, which are tuberculin tested before admittance to the herd, and regularly retested to 
detect incipient cases. Last year they were scored 100 per cent perfect on health, cleanliness and conformation of herd. 
Many dairy farms handle milk but do not specialize in it. On this farm the rule is reversed. They specialize in milk, but 
do not handle it. Every cow is washed before milking — 400 to 500 towels being used daily. All untensils are scrubbed, 
rinsed and sterilized after use and every effort made to prevent any dirt or dust from getting into the milk; which, from 
the time it leaves the cow, is weighed, cooled to 45 degrees, botled, sealed and packed in ice — being only in transit from 2 to 
4 minutes, and never at any time, contaminated by human hand. 

Science, cleanliness and routine are characteristics of the farm management and many expensive devices are used, re- 
gardless of first cost. The result being "Certified Milk", which is perfectly safe for the feeding of the most delicate infant 
or feeble invalid. They are certified by The Medical Society of New York, whose rules and requirements are more stringent 
than many other medical societies. 

Visitors are welcome at Meadowsweet Farms and Mr. Rothera is at all times pleased to explain the value of every regu- 
lation there in force.

MORTON'S PEEKSKILL AND NEW YORK DAY LINE 

PEEKSKILL, N. Y. 




ONE of the big advan- 
tages that the Village 
of Peekskill enjoys is 
service of an excellent 
freight boat line to New York 
City. This is the Morton Day 
Line, which has carried freight 
1 iet ween Peekskill and New- 
York so long that it seems a 
part of the village itself or, ai 
least, a co-existent adjunct. 

The Morton Day Line was 
started by the father of its pres- 
ent operators and by him run 
successfully until his death. 
In that time it took up an ex- 
tensive patronage and by its 
promptness, care and courtes) 
made friends of all its 
clients. This condition contin- 
ues under the present manage- 
ment. 

Odell Morton and William 
Morton, the present heads of 
the line, may be said to have 
been born in the 
their father, the 



business and 
late Captain 



they know it throughly. Both are experienced pilots and they inherit those traits of 
George Morton, that enabled him not only to secure trade but to handle it so as to retain it. 

It is doubtful if a serious complaint against this popular line has ever been heard in Peekskill. 

The boats of the line, Fanny Woodall and G. F. Brady, stop at Croton-on-Hudson and at Verplanck on both up and 
down trips.

MOHEGAN LAKE SCHOOL 

MOHEGAN LAKE, WESTCHESTER CO., N. Y. 

For the man of family who is specially interested in the problem of education, Peekskill is 
particularly attractive as a place of residence. In addition to a fine public school system, the 
town possesses a number of private schools of first class. Not least of these, although not in 
the village boundary, is Mohegan Lake School on the shores of beautiful Mohegan Lake, four 
and one half miles from Peekskill, about five hundred feet above the Hudson River level. 

Founded in 1880, for thirty-four years it has been devoted to the careful preparation of 
young men for business, for the technical school, or for the university ; and above all to the thor- 
ough physical, mental, and moral equipment of its students for their chosen life work. 

The high tone of the school, and its successful career through these years is a matter of 
pride not only to the men who conduct it, but to the whole community. Mohegan has accom- 
plished its success by a firm adherence to certain ideals The fundamental tenet of its faith has 
always been the perfection of the individual, through a harmonious development of all the pow- 
ers of the boy. At Mohegan the standard of value has been fixed with due regard to what is 
practicable as well as to what is best in the preparation of youth for the duties of mature man- 
hood. Mohegan has striven to teach boys not only to think and to know, but to do; to develop 
not only the power of appreciation, but also the power of accomplishing. The threefold aim of 
the school has been to secure knowledge, culture and efficiency. The love of its alumni, their en- 
thusiastic support, the success of its graduates in higher fields of learning and in life, are abund- 
ant evidence that it has not been in vain to adhere to these principles. 

The senior principal, Mr. Albert E. hinder, A. M., of Princeton, is entering upon his twenty- 
fifth year with the school. Mr. Chas. Huntington Smith, A. M., of Amherst, became associated 
with him in 1907.

THE FLEISCHMANN COMPANY 



Charles Fleischmann, the founder of The Fleischmann Co., made and sold the first pound 
of compressed yeast used by the American baker. That was in 1868 — nearly half a century ago. 

From that humble beginning The Fleischmann Co. has grown. To-day there are ten Fleisch- 
mann factories in operation in different parts of the country and they produce over one hundred 
million pounds of yeast a year. 

The largest Fleischmann plant is situated at Charles Point, Peekskill-on-the-Hudson, N. Y. 
— a beautiful, ideal and advantageous location. This factory with immense buildings, grain ele- 
vators, railroad, wharves, and offices, covers one hundred acres of ground. There are 1,500,000 
square feet under roof covering 125 buildings, including a grain elevator with a capacity of 
250,000 bushels of grain. It requires 5,000 bushels of grain, corn, rye and barley, to supply the 
material for each day's output. There are over two miles of railroad connecting with the various 
structures and providing the very best railroad facilities for all points. East, West, North and 
South. The monthly consumption of water amounts to more than 3,000,000 cubic feet or about 
22,500,000 gallons. It requires 5,000 tons of coal each month to keep the fires going. 

In addition to its wonderful manufacturing facilities, The Fleischmann Co. has one of the 
finest distributing organizations in the country. This consists of 950 agencies through which 
personal delivery service is rendered to bakers and grocers in practically every city, town and 
hamlet. 

The Fleischmann Co. is a vital factor in our national life since it is Fleischmann's Yeast 
that raises the nation's bread.

N. DAIN'S SONS COMPANY 



LUMBER YARDS WITH RECORD NEARLY A CENTURY LONG 



NONE of the N. Dain's Sons Co. was alive when the lumber business was first started by the firm to which they trace 
back. In its early days Peekskill shipped as well as received considerable lumber and one of the lumber yards of 
those days is on the spot where theirs now stands and the business has descended in a direct line to them from 
that old-time firm. The name of Dain first appeared in the firm in 1852, when John Ombony took in partnership 
with him in the business Nathaniel Dain. Mr. Ombony retired in 1880 and then the firm became N. Dain & Sons. Upon 
the death of the senior Mr. Dain in 1888 the firm became N. Dain's Sons and so continued until 1901, when it was incor- 
porated under its present name. They handle lumber in all forms and. it may be added, in all quantities, for they are whole- 
salers and retailers and are said to carry the biggest lumber stock to be found at any place along the Hudson river. Their 
yards on North Water Street cover 
two acres and are always fully and 
variously stocked to meet any demand 
that may arise. Having their own 
docks, they are equipped to receive 

and handle large shipments at any m^^mmm « rm \ r 1 .—— ~ 

time. Thus they have experience am! 
facilities to promptly and properly 
furnish lumber in great or small quan- 
tities upon demand, of proper qualit\ 
and at proper prices. They cater to a 
trade extending to a radius of some 
thirty-five miles about Peekskill and 
furnish steady employment to some 
twenty-five men. 

Mr. Frank Dain is a director in 
Peekskill Military Academy. West- 
chester County National Bank and 
Peekskill Savings Bank.

R. MAC KELLAR'S SONS COMPANY 



A MILL WITH A HISTORY 



WAY back before tbe time of the Revo- 
lutionary War there was a mill in 
the valley on McGregor's brook 
about where now stands what is famil- 
iarly known as MacKellar's mill. By a more 
or less clear line of descent the present con- 
cern traces back to that. First the mill was 
undoubtedly a saw, grist and fertilizer mill. 
then the saw mill work was given up ; later 
the same happened to the grist business and 
then came in the grinding of gypsum and the 
furnishing of ground charcoal for the foun- 
dries that began to form a great part of Peek- 
skill's industry. 

Robert MacKellar, the founder of the 
present business, which was established in 
1844, was the originator of the charcoal tab- 
let as a cure for dyspepsia and this part of 
the business is now an extensive one. The 
company grinds charcoal for use in a variety 

of industries greater than anyone unacquainted with the work would suppose have use for it and they furnish it specially 
fitted in each case for the work that it is to be used at. W. H. H. MacKellar, the secretary, treasurer and general manager 
of the company may be said to have been born in the business and, wdiile he has had experience in other callings sufficient 
to acquaint him with the work of the world in general, he has specialized strongly enough on this line to be an expert at it 
and well fitted to manage this, the largest concern of its kind in the country and the original foundry facings mill of the 
country.

T. J. MAXWELL COMPANY 

Large Factory Constantly Busy in Supplying Demand 

LTHOUGH now operatng under a different name than when it first started here, the manufacturers 
of the Restwell brand of pajamas and night shirts and the Record brand of tub dresses was one of 
the first to start in that line in the village. The T. J. Maxwell Co. is an outgrowth from the Jano- 
witz and Maxwell Co. which, without flourish or big claims, started operations here several years 
ago. The popularity of their brands increased and. with it, the extent of their manufacture grew, until 
now, housed in a building especially erected for them recently, they are working steadily and turning out a 
vast supply to meet the demand. This factory, four stories high and equipped with every modern device 
for work in their line and for the con- 
venience of their employes, furnishes 
work for a force of a hundred 
people not counting executive officers, 
New York office force or sales forces, 
with an addition of about fifty more 
during the rush season of the fall. The 
company manufactures a popular 
priced line of goods and their pa- 
jamas, night shirts and dresses arc 
widely and favorably known as is evi- 
denced by a constantly increasing de- 
mand for them. 

The New York office of the com- 
pany is in the Fifth Avenue Building 
at 200 Fifth avenue.

WORRALL HALL 



EEKSKILL leads in schools. Nowhere are more or better opportunities for education up to the 
point of entrance to college or business life to be found in a place of the size of this village, or 
even considerably larger. The public schooL are such that the State takes pride in them and the 
private institutions are of the same high grade. Among the latter Worrall Hall Military Academy 
holds to the high rank as an ideal school for boys. 

Counting as much on character training as on increasing the mental equipment of the boy, the manage- 
ment of this academy limits itself as to numbers and is satisfied that its reputation should depend upon the 
quality of the boys that are trained there rather than upon the quantity. The number accepted in any term 
is limited to what the faculty conscientiously believes it can properly handle, giving due attention to the 
whole boy — physical, mental and moral. The courses of study fit the boy, according to which is chosen, for 
entrance in college or for stepping directly into the activity of business life. He leaves the school prepared 
for his next step in life. 

James Nelson McLure, principal of Worrall Hall Military Academy, was formerly headmaster at 
Miami Military Institute, at Germantown, Ohio, and is a graduate of the Ohio Wesleyan University, where 
he received the degree of B. A. He is somewhat of a fraternal man, a thirty-second degree mason and has 
the breadth that a man must possess to travel that far on the road. With him are assoicated teachers of a 
high grade of efficiency and ot experience in this work.

BEAUTIFUL HOME SITES 

Nelson Park and the Old Durrin Farm are Attractive 




THOMAS NELSON, JR. 



"Nelson Park" was so known in Peekskill for years when it was wood- 
land and broad, open fields. When the Thomas Nelson Estate opened the 
section for homes, developing it at an expense of between $50,000 and $60,000, 
it was quite natural that the popular local name should be retained and so it 
was. Seventy-eight lots were laid out in the park and are now almost entirely 
sold. The park lies in one of the most advantageous sections of the village 
and has all of the conveniences that are to be found anywhere in the village 
together with the close neighborhood of one of the few remaining woodlands 
of the village. It is elevated, overlooking the village and affording beautiful 
views in three directions. The drainage is perfect ; has graded streets, con- 
crete sidewalks, curbs and gutters, gas, water, electricity and shade trees. It 
is protected against undesirable persons and buildings. 

The management of the Estate of Thomas Nelson is also developing the 
old Durrin Farm at VanCortlandtville and here are to be found delightful 
sites for bungalows and small farms. 

Honorable Thomas Nelson, Jr., twice elected president of the village, 
which office he now holds, is the manager of these developments and one of 
the most active boosters of the village. At the head of a large estate, he has 
chosen these parcels of it as the most attractive to offer in carrying forward 
the "progress of Peekskill" movement which now clearly is under way.

Peekskill Lighting and Railroad Service 



THE Gas, Electric and Railroad service supplied by the Peekskill Lighting & Railroad Co. is 
equal to that supplied in any city of the State. A description of the departments shows this. 
Railroad Department: — The main line of the railroad extends from the New York 
Central railway station, through the centre of the village in an easterly direction to Lake 
Mohegan, where a pleasure park adjoining the lake is provided for the patrons of the road. Provision 
is made on South Street near Division for the transfer of passengers to the Verplanck branch and to 
the Putnam & Westchester Traction Company's line. The total mileage covered by the two lines is 
more than fifteen miles. 

The rolling stock of the railroad consists of : 6 Semi-Convertible Brill Cars, Vestibule type ; 4 
Closed Cars, Vestibule type ; 8 Open Cars ; 1 Snow Plow ; 1 Combination Snow Plow and Express Car ; 
1 Coal Car (side and bottom dump) ; 1 Coal Car (side dump) ; 1 Work Car. The motor equipments 
are all new. 

Electric Light & Power: — Electric motors furnish power to a large number of the manufac- 
turing industries in the city, electric power being used partially in the municipal pumping plant and 
entirely for the high service reservoir. 

Electric lighting has shared the popularity and usefulness of the electric motor and is used for 
street lighting, by most of the stores and in a large number of residences. 

Gas Department: — For the production of gas this company has a modern gas plant located on 
Water Street just south of the electric station. At the present time the company rents gas ranges, 
water heaters and gas cookers. In order to carry on this work and render service to the public the 
company employs nearly 100 men, a large number of whom are natives of the village.

EDORE AT CENTRE DOCK AND GENERAL TEAMING. 



John Smith, Jr., general contractor 
and owner of the Centre Dock, is one 
of the old line citizens of Peekskill who 
have grown up with the village and 
helped largely in making it the place 
that it is. Forceful and progressive, 
he has the native insight that has en- 
abled him largely to foresee the course 
of events and profit thereby. 

Always active, Mr. Smith has exer- 
cised that activity in a public spirited 
manner, serving both his country and 
his village in peace and in war. As a 

sixteen year old boy he was mustered in as a corporal in the 135th N. Y. Infantry ( afterward, the 6th Heavy Ar- 
tillery) and served through the Civil War, being discharged with the rank of lieutenant, Aug. 24, 1865. Returning from 
the war, Mr. Smith went into the gravel roofing business with his father, eventually taking over the entire business and add 
ing to it that of general contracting. But a short time after this he, with several war comrades, organized Centennial Hose 
Co., and was the first foreman, which did good service in the village fire department for many years. About ten years 
later he was one the charter members of Centennial Hose Co.. No. 4, a company still active. These are but part of his ser- 
vices to his community. For a number of years he was a member of the Drum Hill Board of Education — at one time its 
president — and he served one term as postmaster of the village, 1890 to 1894. 

At present Mr. Smith is conducting a large contracting business, with 20 or more teams which he keeps busy the year 
round. He is also agent for the famous Vulcanite Portland Cement which is largely used in public and private work in 

this community.

PEEKSKILL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY 



On every side in and about Peekskill are monuments to the skill and ability of the Peekskill Construction 
Co. This firm, which succeeds A. Renza, now its president, does all lines of building and construction work — 
the larger the better. Many of the Buildings of the Fleischmann plant in this village and the Standard Oil Cloth 



Co. plant at Buchanan are ex- 
amples of its work as are, also, 
the stone work of the Guardian 
Building, Drum Hill High 
School and several other public 
and business buildings in and 
about town 

Wicopee dam and storage res- 
ervoir, a recent addition to 
Peekskill's water system, was 




built by this company. This dam 
is 400 feet long and, at its great- 
est depth, 35 feet deep. The 
capacity of the lake thus im- 
pounded is 420,000,000 gallons. 
It covers 54 acres of ground and, 
being nearly circular, has a di- 
ameter of about half a mile. 
From the start this work was 
pushed forward by the company 



WICOPEE DAM 

without a hitch and its successful completion was hailed with delight by the whole village as betokening a time 
when water famines need no longer be feared here. 

The Peekskill Construction Company secured the contract for building a sewer system and disposal plant for 
Goshen and it is now at work on this job. 

These are a few of the larger jobs that the company handles, but it does smaller ones, too. Dozens of 
handsome stone walls about the village show its neatness in little jobs and residences and barns here and there 
show its ability at work on smaller buildings.

EAGLE GARAGE 



MESSRS. BARGER AND YELLETT, Proprietors 



One of the busiest places in Peekskill 
and one that is very necessary to the man 
who owns an automobile is the Eagle 
Garage, located on the Albany Post Road 
on North Division Street. 

The proprietors of this up-to-date Garage 
are certainly making a reputation for them- 
selves which is being spread far and wide 
by their satisfied customers. 

Starting at the very beginning of the 
automobile trade, they have developed their 
fast growing business and any car given in 
their charge will be taken care of by ex- 
perts. A general garage business is carried 
on — repairing, renting, the agency of a 
number of the best cars. A first trial 
means a steady customer.

Here, with a corps of expert machinists, 
Mr. Ash is handling his fast-growing 
automobile business. A number of the 
best cars are handled and Mr. Ash proud- 
ly claims that his newest is the "Velie" 
and they all say it is "some car", Get a

SOMETHING ABOUT BUNGALOWS 



Prominent among those who believe in Peekskill and 
who have backed up their beliefs by substantial invest- 
ments is Ernest Loomis, the writer, whose books on 
philosophical and self-culture topics have sold extensive- 
ly here and abroad. He first bought sixty acres to use as 
headquarters for his educational interests, and then be- 
came so deeply impressed with the prospects of advances 
in real estate values that he bought dozens of places, 
aggregating over 500 acres, nearly all of which are near 
good transportation facilities. 

He is now planning to build California bungalows 
on his Riverview Plaza subdivision which is only three 
blocks from the Peekskill depot. These he will sell mi 
easy terms at exceptionally low prices to local people, 
New Yorkers and others. He hopes to make these 
especially attractive to authors, artists, idealists, and 
others who require all modern improvements, and who 
appreciate the finest of the Hudson River scenery and 
the beautiful effects that can be obtained by making the 
bungalows harmonize with each other.

Peekskill is surrounded by spots of historic interest and among these none has more to hold the attention than have the 
"Old Church" and cemetery at VanCortlandtville. The church, a frame building still in a good state of preservation, was 
erected in 1767. It served as both church and school house un til the outbreak of the Revolution and in the latter years of that 
struggle, as church and hospital. 

Here, when his army was stationed in the vicinity. General Washington, who was a lay reader of the Church of England 
in America (afterward the Episcopal Church) read the services for his men. Later the church, with its neighbor the Bap- 
tist meeting house, since torn 
down, was used as a hospital 
for Continental soldiers. In it 
General Seth Pomeroy died. 
He was buried a few feet back 
of the church and a monument 
to his memory, erected by the 
Sons of the Revolution stands 
not far away. 

John Paulding, one of the 
captors of Major Andre, lies 
buried in his family plot al- 
most directly in front of the 
church. His grave is marked 
by a monument erected by the 
City of New York.

THE MOTOKART 

This is a progressive age. When the first experi- 
mental automobile was built, like the first telephone, 
it was an amusing plaything or curiosity. Now both 
are every day necessities. But the automobile was 
the first of a line of articles destined to make enorm- 
ous changes in business and social life. It was quick 
ly followed by the motor truck and motorcycle and 




then came a demand for a motor driven vehicle to take 
the place of the delivery wagon of the smaller mer 
chant. Automobiles and motor trucks were both too 
large and too expensive for this purpose and inventive 
geniuses were set at work to solve the difficulty. This 
was successfully accomplished when the MotoKart 
came upon the market. This necessity of to-day is 
manufactured at the company's factory on Hudson 
Avenue, Peekskill. The company's New York office 
is at 1790 Broadway.

PLANT OF THE PEEKSKILL STONE CO., PEEKSKILL, N. Y., MANUFACTURERS OF ALL CONCRETE PRODUCTS 



FISH & FREINHAR'S DEPARTMENT STORE 



In amount of floor space occupied possibly no other mercantile concern in Peekskill is quite as extensive as is the firm 
of Fish & Freinhar, whose department store at the corner of South Street and Union Avenue occupies two floors, with a 
frontage on South Street of 90 feet and a like depth. In this beautiful store there is displayed a stock as varied and as ex- 
tensive as could be found in almost any store of the same character even in a large city and the prices, too, easily meet the 
competition of the large city stores, with the further inducement that "money back if not satisfied" is a motto to which they 
live up to without quibble. Their stock, which includes everything for the home and all kinds of women's and children's cloth- 
ing, is of a quality and character which makes the offer of a return of money invested to a dissatisfied customer a safe one 

This firm, starting in business in Newburgh in 1900, opened its Peekskill store in 1906 and immediately became active 
in the business life of the village. Mr. Fish, who has charge of the Peekskill store joined the local Board of Trade and 
has been a hard-working member and 'officer in that body almost from the time he first came here, being at present its 
first vice president. 

It is impossible in one page of this 
book to give more than a hint of the 
breadth of this firm. One incident will 
serve to show something of its progress - 
iveness. We often hear of a large cor- 
poration — a railroad for instance — en- 
couraging the farmer on the principle 
that all wealth comes primarily from the 
earth, but it remained for Fish & Frein- 
har to be the first retail concern to take 
up this work. Three years ago they gave 
up their entire second floor for a week 
to an agricultural and horticultural fair. 
open to all, both as competitors and as 
visitors, and this is now a regular annual 
feature at their store, giving the farmers 
and growers of this sections a substan- 
tial uplift and encouragement and thus 
greatly benefiting the entire community.

LOUNSBURY & SONS COMPANY 

A LARGE CONTRACTING CONCERN 




MILTON W. LOUNS3URY 



When a company operates in several lines and is successful in all of 
them it is a pretty clear sign that it has the qualities that entitle it to promi- 
nence and permanence. Such a concern is the Lounsburv & Sons Co. This 
company is an extensive dealer in ice. both at wholesale and at retail, a gen- 
eral contracting and building firm and, also, dealers in sand, gravel, ce- 
ment, brick, etc. Its main office and plant are situated on lower Washing- 
ton Street and cover nearly two hundred acres. They own a large private 
lake from which they gather much of their own ice. The company is a mem- 
ber of the Empire State Ice Association and its ice stands high for purity. 

Their stables, located on a different part of the large property, are 
among the largest and most modern in equipment in Northern Westchester. 

In the contracting and building department the firm does all kinds of 
excavating and grading and furnishes sand, gravel, cement, brick, stone 
and all similar building materials. They also supply cement blocks in all 
sizes and shapes. They built the foundation for the Flatiron Building and 
made the excavations for the Guardian Building and Drum Hill High 
School. The company is incorporated and Milton W. Lounsburv is its presi- 
dent. 

Last year the president of the firm was elected a trustee of the village 
of Peekskill, being the one successful candidate on his ticket. This alone 
should be proof of his popularity in his own locality.
